End of Summer

It has come to the time of year that every teacher feels both excitement and sadness... Workshop week. The excitement of the new school year brings me back to my own years as a student. I love going back to see my colleges whom I have only seen a handful of all summer, I get excited to run my copies, get books out and have my room ready to go. Sadness also looms overhead as I realize that my time at home with Bel has come to an end for the summer, though this year she is so excited to return to Mary's that she cannot contain herself! So it is bittersweet that we get ready for a new school year.
